Kmart Australia’s $12 handbag is an exact dupe of a $900 Chloe design that’s sold out everywhere: ‘A mum’s dream’
Kmart fans are excited about a new $12 bag that looks just like a luxury accessory loved by stylish moms around the world.
The Canvas Tote Bag ($12) bears a striking resemblance to French fashion house Chloé’s Kids Logo Detailed Top Handle Shoulder Bag, which retails for $890.
The sold-out bag is the ultimate luxury accessory for carrying nappies, wipes and baby products – and the budget version is being hailed as ‘perfect’.
The ‘chic’ bag is available in four colors – natural, black, navy blue and khaki – and features comfortable handles and a long strap for hands-free use.
The stylish item also includes a ‘handy’ attached zippered pouch at the top for easy access to smaller items such as money, cosmetics and keys.
And Australians can’t get enough of the value-for-money design, with many giving the versatile fashion purchase perfect five-star reviews online.
‘I absolutely love this bag! It fits diapers… and I can also fit my laptop in it for meetings, instead of lugging around an extra bag. It’s a five star rating from me,” one person said.
‘I love it. It’s practical and suitable for so many occasions,” another added.
Kmart’s Canvas Tote Bag ($12) is said to be a ‘perfect’ dupe of a Chloe bag that retails for almost $900, with many Australians praising the ‘great’ design
Fans of the $12 Kmart tote have praised it as the “perfect bag,” saying it’s roomy and sturdy enough to be used as a baby diaper bag, a laptop carrier for work, or both.
‘I had to get this bag in both colors, it’s the best and most versatile bag I’ve ever owned! 11/10 would recommend,” a third agreed.
Many praised the quality of the ‘stylish’ tote bag and said they couldn’t believe how ‘expensive’ it looked.
Those who choose to use the bag for work say it can easily fit a 15-inch laptop and an oversized water bottle, with room for everyday essentials.
This latest release comes after the budget retailer launched a handbag that was virtually identical to an elegant designer version that cost thousands of pounds.
The Canvas Bucket Bag ($18) sold out immediately, with many Australians saying it ‘looks exactly like’ the Balloon Bag from Spanish fashion brand Loewe ($3,990).
The ‘stylish’ off-white canvas base with brown leather details and straps has shoppers praising it as ‘perfect’ and even preferring the original.
“I actually prefer the Kmart version,” said one.
